El Ni\u00f1o arrives and could be historic in 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The U.S. Weather Agency confirmed it this Thursday. El Ni\u00f1o has officially arrived. Scientists expect the phenomenon to intensify throughout 2026. It could become one of the most powerful since 1950.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Droughts, floods, and record temperatures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
El Ni\u00f1o doesn't just affect the tropics. Its effects extend across the entire planet. It brings droughts to some regions, floods to others, and soaring temperatures. Latin America and the southern US will be particularly exposed over the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Satellites show a deficit of 650,000 km\u00b2 compared to the 1991-2020 average. That area is equivalent to the size of France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Will Hobbs, from the University of Tasmania, calls it \u00abdepressing.\u00bb It's the third time in four years this has happened. \u00abI don't think we'll see ice there again. It's done,\u00bb he says. Dr. Phil Reid, from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, warns that the Thwaites and Pine Island glaciers are losing their natural protection. Without sea ice, their floating shelves fragment faster. This speeds up sea level rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Emperor penguins are also suffering the consequences. Dr. Peter Fretwell of the British Antarctic Survey explains that the ice forms too late and breaks up too early. This reduces reproductive success. The species was already listed as \u00abendangered\u00bb by the UN earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udcce Read the full article in The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The AMOC is the Atlantic's great climate regulator. It moves heat from the south to the north of the ocean. Europe's agriculture, infrastructure, and food security depend on it. Penny Holliday, Femke de Jong, and Sjoerd Groeskamp warn in The Guardian: if the AMOC collapses, Europe could experience climate changes up to 10 times faster than today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Systematic monitoring of the AMOC has been underway for just two decades. And now it is at risk. The Trump administration has proposed cuts to NASA, NOAA, and the NSF. Those three agencies account for about 50% of the total budget for AMOC monitoring. Last week, the U.S. announced cuts to the Ocean Observing Initiative, one of the key programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The European initiative OceanEye has allocated 50 million euros to help fill the gap. But the authors of the article are clear: it's not enough. Without continuous data, climate models lose accuracy. And policymakers are left without tools to anticipate what's coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udcce Read the full article in The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The AMOC collapse Atlantic circulation<\/strong> will remain at the center of scientific debate. The evolution of El Ni\u00f1o will set the global climate pulse in the coming months. We will track the Antarctic ice deficit when the seasonal peak arrives in September.
